Two best friends, Ditty, and a mysterious shadow person that shall only be known as, The Panda, embark on a journey to create a life where they do what they love. Play, talk about, and eventually develop video games! We are pretty different gamers who share a few common areas, but we both are as passionate about our loves as we are about our distain. Pretty much, we're the most entertaining duo in the video gaming industry!
Whether or not we know what were doing is still to be determined. However, despite this, on our latest episode we delve into the inner recesses of our love for video games and discuss what kind of game we would LOVE to make. Tune in for a grand ride on the Midnight gaming train as we breakdown what would make a perfect video game for us.
We would love to hear about what kind of games that you would like to make. Whether it be a better made version of a game we have all played, or something that none of us have ever seen, tell us what you'd like to have in your game!

Women in Video Games (We Love Da Ladies)
This week on Ditty & The Panda we talk about something near and dear to our hearts, Women in Video Games! Panda is the loud and proud girl dad and Ditty is the typical mommy's boy, so we have a lot of love for the women who make our lives possible. We discuss some of the stereotypes of the past and what developers are doing today to share stories of empowering female characters that appeal to a much broader audience.
We are not a political podcast, we are simply nerds who are thrilled that representation of other communities is finally among us in the gaming community.

As One Chapter Ends: What Makes A Good Video Game Ending?
So what makes a good video game ending?
We've all played through an epic story, only to have it culminate in an ending that was not as great as the one we expected. On this episode, Ditty and the Panda take a look at the trade-offs between a good story and bad ending vs. a bad story and great ending. While sometimes it can be hard just to get through some games because of their terrible stories, we do realize that good stories do really make for better endings, but there are some times where the opposite happens. The guys talk about why they feel this is so and also discuss how player choice is a game changer (pun definitely intended) in creating replayability and how it can impact endings.

What's Your Story?
If you haven't noticed by now, we're suckers for a good story. So, we thought, this week we should talk about what makes a good story based game. Is it the characters, the dialogue, the music, heck, is it the fact that the devs just throw you into the story and let you figure it out on your own, or that they hold your hand and explain to you everything that's going on?!
This could've easily been a 3hr episode, but to save your ears, we kept it short and sweet. Hope you enjoy it!
With Love,
Ditty & The Panda

So, we thought that our very first episode shared online should be about our top 10 games. This is a list that, as you will hear, is in constant flux. And although we might have missed a few games (we realized that after recording), we still stand by our opinions and hope you enjoy listening to us go absolute geek mode on this ep!
